An OlyBlog post was blogged about today on the spokesmanreview.com blog Eye on Olympia:

That's hilarious.

That's hilarious. Congratulations Lord Summerisle - the crops will surely come in this year after that.

Is It Just Me Or...

Did anybody else pick up on this:

(Poster summerisle, in case the sarcasm isn't coming through, was apparently unhappy with restrictions on what can be posted on the blog.)

This tells me this place has become famous for all it's restrictions.  Not exactly a crowd getter...

You've been hammering on this theme for a while

yet you consistantly decline to provide any specifics about the contributors who are being "driven away" from Olyblog. Some specifics would be helpful.

I Didn't Post It!

And it's not my job to name names!  For someone as observant as you, surely you can see who is & isn't really posting anymore.  At least to the degrees they were before.  It's the same ole', same ole' now.  Same stuff, same posters, different day.  It's gone from great opinions to my way or no way.  It's gone from little to no restrictions to new rules being made up for everything that doesn't sit well with one or 2 people.

I didn't put this comment out there or post it elsewhere.  I didn't bring it to the attention of the blog.  All I'm doing is pointing out the poster (who isn't anybody who posts here regularly) isn't really making the blog famous for a positive reason!  One many here have been pointing out for months!  I read this posters entry as a slam on the blog, one where he's making fun of it. 

So I asked if I'm the only one who read it that way.

I know of a few

 Who are planning to leave or about to.  I'm toying with joining that group myself...

May the road rise up to meet you!

And the wind be always at your backs.

It's too bad that people feel like they have to leave, but I don't know what to do about it. This isn't the blog where people get to be jerks, that blog lives somewhere else. This is the be nice, learn from one another, and build community blog. My purpose for being here is to network and increase dialog and awareness so that community problem solving can happen. It's no fun dealing with the distractions.

What does it mean "to leave?"

Is there a key you need to give back to Rick or something?

Actually...

...I've changed the locks.

I think

 Rick made an attempt at humor again!  :-)

I mean

 I was half ass toying with the idea of simply staying away period, but I still think there are redeeming features in OB.

I'm glad you posted this Sarah

I skipped over the thread and would not have read it except for this. Thank you :) And great job Summerisle.

Not a good mark for

for Olyblog, but good job summer.

tongue-in-cheek

are the key words. Read nothing more into it. It appears they are really bored and too lazy to write their own copy out in the Inland Empire.

Remember the adage about fame: I don't care what you say about me, just spell my name right.

This is not an excuse to rant and rave about wht who does what to who in the Olyblog.
